Wishes Under the Willow Tree by Phaedra Patrick
3.0
I received free copy of 'Wishes Under the Willow Tree' in exchange for an honest review.
Set in a small village in Yorkshire, Benedict Stone is still struggling to come to terms with his wife moving in with a friend when his 16 year old niece turns up on his doorstep. After falling out with his brother some 18 years before, he was unaware of her existence. Having a slightly unruly teenager move in with him happens to be the kick up the bum that Benedict needs to get his life back on track, along with a little help from some gemstones.
A very easy little read - I did enjoy 'Wishes Under the Willow Tree' but I didn't find it to be particularly exciting. It was quite sweet and could easily fall into the 'heartwarming' category, however. Most of the story is predictable, but the characters are likeable and although the storyline didn't necessarily excite me, it did interest me.
